KANSAS CITY, Mo. – NABC Executive Director Craig Robinson has released a statement following Wednesday’s Senate Commerce Committee hearing on college athlete compensation.
“As coaches, our ultimate responsibility is to support the wellbeing of the student-athletes we’ve been entrusted to lead. As such, the NABC and our member coaches stand in favor of modernizing legislation to provide opportunities for student-athletes to monetize their name, image and likeness. We thank Gonzaga coach Mark Few for representing men’s basketball coaches at today’s Senate Commerce Committee hearing, and for his thoughtful comments throughout the session. We also commend the Committee for inviting Coach Few to participate in the hearing, and by doing so, acknowledging the importance of coach input on this topic.”
